The Global Commercial Aircraft market has crossed the peak demand
threshold on the demand curve after a shortened, 12 year full scale
demand boom cycle; as reflected by the dismal order intake across key
industry OEMs over the past 2 years and their prevailing book to bill
ratios.

The latest demand boom had been driven by a combination of favorable
demand drivers, macroeconomic forces and technological advances by the
industry which transpired into record airlines profits over the past few
years.

The long term demand drivers & fundamentals for commercial aviation,
however, remain firmly in place with a strong passenger traffic growth
trend projected over the next 2 decades. The strategic focus across
industry OEMs & the industry value chain is laser sharp on ramping up
production to deliver on the huge accumulated order backlog, estimated
to be worth over 7-8 years of production. The global commercial aircraft
market, thus, is juxtaposed between two contrasting trends led by a
slowdown in market demand, especially, for new large commercial
aircrafts by carriers on the demand side while the industry OEMs & value
chain ramp up production to accelerate deliveries on the supply side as
they prepare to reap the rich harvest over medium term.

Further, the year 2017 is going to be significant for the industry with
a number of new commercial aircraft programs scheduled to enter service
led by A321neo, 737MAX and the 787-10. Further, the rapid rise of
Chinese, Russian and Japanese capabilities in the design, development &
production of commercial aircrafts is likely to pose significant &
serious threat to the traditional Airbus-Boeing duopoly in the LCA space
over long term.
